Re: My favourite Finnish names

It is so strange how foreign names often just do not register as names with me! I think if I were looking at these individually it would be easier to think of them as names but a list is a bit overwhelming.
Okay I will look at them individually
I really like these Finnish names in general. I enjoy how short and pretty and unimposing-yet-eclectic-and-fun they are. Fun syllables. I like Saima and Aune and Aino a lot. Ilto is also really cool. I mean they are all really cool. That is pretty much all I can say about them, you know? Frustrating. One day...!
I can often think of Russian and Spanish names as names though! I read dostoyevsky for the names. I have no idea what I'm supposed to get out of it except long lists of sexy names.
In general I don't really think about international/traditional. - I guess I'd fall more on the traditional side, since my name vocabulary is pretty limited to more "traditional" names. If I moved to another country though, I am sure I would begin to see their names as names and begin to incorporate them into my namebanks.
